STUDENT AID

Borel Middle School PTA Sponsored Student Aid programs include: Daytime Snacks, Homework Central Food, Holiday Boxes, Clothing Gift Cards, and Complimentary Tickets for Borel events!

Please see below for ways to support these meaningful programs.

Daytime Snacks, aka Project Pantry

Borel is committed to ensuring all students have snacks at-the-ready to keep up their energy and positive attitudes!

Sign-up to purchase individually wrapped snacks and drop-off at the Borel office per date on the sign up!

Goal is to purchase as many snacks as possible each week; There is no maximum, we need thousands of snacks but we only have a small budget
Popular snacks: Seaweed, Goldfish, Chewy Granola Bars, Fruit Snacks, and Popcorn - mixing and matching is fine
There is a $50 reimbursable* allocation per drop-off date
OR, if you are able to cover the cost, mark donation on the reimbursement form below to contribute in-kind, and we will reallocate the funds + send you an in-kind donation letter for tax purposes.
If you know any businesses, brands, or other organizations that would like to donate please contact extracurricular@borelbobcats.org who will happily support the in-kind process.
Big thanks to Ms. Wolf, who has a group of students who help sort and distribute snacks weekly!

Homework Central Food

We need help making sandwiches for Borel Homework Central!

Sandwiches nourish and sustain students in-need during the twice weekly after school sessions. Since it is late in the day, many of the kids are hungry and need a mini-meal to help their focus and success!

Sign-up to purchase ingredients, make, and drop-off 40 sandwiches in the Borel office per date on the sign up!

Sandwiches should be basic - sliced bread or roll, meat (turkey or ham), and cheese or PB&J - all individually wrapped and dropped off by 2:30PM to the main office on the given day/date. (See Best Practices for more directions.)
There is a $50 reimbursable* allocation per drop-off date

Holidays In-A-Box

Show families in-need their school community really cares with a tangible box of useful, seasonal goodies.

4x per school year, we will curate “holiday-centric” boxes for 25 families in-need – gifts will be chock-full of necessities as well as treats to celebrate the season.

For Fall/Thanksgiving, Winter/December Holidays, Valentine's Day, and Spring/Mother's Day we need quantities of specific items including but not limited to:

Gift Cards to Safeway and/or Target and/or Smart and Final (need at least 100 cards in $25 denominations)
Socks (400 pairs)
Seasonal Sweets, Canned Foods, Fresh Fruits, Fresh Foods, Flowers, and more (25 of each category minimum per season)

If you are interested in supporting, please contact extracurricular@borelbobcats.org for more information
Note: School counselors create the list of families in-need and distribute the items directly - no family information is shared out other than number of people in each family to ensure the boxes are properly curated
